Important: Read this before posting to this forum

  1. This forum is for questions related to the use of Apollo. We will answer some general choice modelling questions too, where appropriate, and time permitting. We cannot answer questions about how to estimate choice models with other software packages.
  2. There is a very detailed manual for Apollo available at http://www.ApolloChoiceModelling.com/manual.html. This contains detailed descriptions of the various Apollo functions, and numerous examples are available at http://www.ApolloChoiceModelling.com/examples.html. In addition, help files are available for all functions, using e.g. ?apollo_mnl
  3. Before asking a question on the forum, users are kindly requested to follow these steps:
    1. Check that the same issue has not already been addressed in the forum - there is a search tool.
    2. Ensure that the correct syntax has been used. For any function, detailed instructions are available directly in Apollo, e.g. by using ?apollo_mnl for apollo_mnl
    3. Check the frequently asked questions section on the Apollo website, which discusses some common issues/failures. Please see http://www.apollochoicemodelling.com/faq.html
    4. Make sure that R is using the latest official release of Apollo.
  4. If the above steps do not resolve the issue, then users should follow these steps when posting a question:
    1. provide full details on the issue, including the entire code and output, including any error messages
    2. posts will not immediately appear on the forum, but will be checked by a moderator first. This may take a day or two at busy times. There is no need to submit the post multiple times.

Wrong results when using the latest version

Ask questions about installing Apollo, running it inside a shell, and updating to new versions. Please make sure you provide information about which version of Apollo and R you are using.

Wrong results when using the latest version

Post by lxiaolei »

Hi,

I updated Apollo to the latest version(0.3.1), but when I ran the case(using the same code and data of case: Hybrid_LC_with_OL), the results were inconsistent with those of running version 0.2.9, and many parameters were estimated to be NA, the two latent class probabilities are not true as well. Could you please tell me how to solve it? Thanks very much.

The following is the running result under Apollo version 0.3.1.

Re: Wrong results when using the latest version

Post by stephanehess »

hi,

it seems like there has been an issue with that model all along as the estimates are the same across classes, so this is not a version issue

We will look into it
